We leverage Knak to create all of our in-funnel emails and landing pages. It's drastically improved the speed at which we can deliver new templates, emails, and landing pages without needing internal development expertise. Last year, with Knak's help, we launched over 250 experiments across our funnel. All in all their technology is great, their team is incredibly helpful and they've played a huge role in the improvement of our prospective student experience.
  • Cross-Platform/Device Compatible Emails and Landing Pages
  • User Friendly Drag and Drop Interface
  • Beautiful Layout and Design
  • Easy Integrations
  • Efficient Workflows
  • The Salesforce Marketing Cloud connector is less advanced than the Marketo connector. That said, they've made huge process here!
Any email and landing page creation
  • High ROI
  • Enabled 250+ experiments

We use Knak daily to develop email marketing materials for our Marketo instance and for our sales team as Outlook Templates in the field. It addresses the business problem of requiring an in-house coder or developer to create our Marketo emails.
  • Allows for responsive email template design
  • Easy to organize emails
  • Great syncing and updating for existing emails
  • Sometimes there are issues with buggy code
  • Updates sometimes will break emails
If you have Marketo or Pardot and have emails that might be somewhat simple to slightly complex, without the budget for a developer, Knak is the right solution for you. If you have complex emails that require a lot of code or customization and have the in-house resources, Knak might not be the perfect solution.
  • Great return on time investment
  • Great return on our strategy to get new communications out the door

We use Knak for our email templates in Marketo. They offer great templates that are mobile optimized, and its so so easy to customize a template and import it into Marketo for immediate use - no development required.
  • Well designed templates
  • Easy integration with Marketo
  • New templates all the time and a big library to choose from
  • Mobile-optimized templates
  • It'd be cool to be able to tweak certain elements of templates - image placement, for example.
  • Integration with other marketing automation platforms
We recommend Knak to all of our clients who use Marketo.
  • It's been great for us because we don't have a technical web developer resource on staff to create templates for us.

Marketo has email templates and you can, of course, create your own - but Knak makes it so much easier to create templates that are nice looking and mobile-optimized.
